Abstract

The potential mechanisms of several types of dietary manipulations influencing the progression of chronic renal failure (CRF) were investigated using animal experiments. In such experiments, various animal species and models were employed [1]. The approaches most often used were: reduction of renal mass, application of aminonucleosides, induction of renal failure with immune-mediated mechanisms, induction of diabetes, or a combination of any of these procedures. In general, the use of these models was complicated by the superimposition of hypertension. There is growing evidence that a number of animal models exhibit limitations and inherent problems [2–4].
